..::Existence... what is the meaning of existence. Do you know? Do I know? Maybe existence and the whole point of existing is what you make of it. What you decide it is. If that's the case then my entire life, hinges on me being inside that ring. There is very few things in this life that I love more than wrestling, than feeling the rush of being in the ring, going toe to toe with others who love this sport as much as I do.... it feels like I'm alive when the fans are cheering my name. That to me is living, so is that meaning of my life? To entertain others, to put the smiles of others before the smile on my face? If so... why? Why do I go out there every night just to entertain the little ones, just to feel the rush and excitement it gives me? I guess so. Maybe that's why it upset me so much to be given a forced leave of absence for a month, because my entire being is tied to that ring in one way or another. There was a time when I believed that the only reason I was in nCw was to get closer to Kelly, there was a time that I had convinced myself that everything I did was for Kelly's attention.... if that's the case, then is the only reason I'm hanging around for her? She clearly has moved on it would seem. Maybe, just maybe it's a combination of everything. Perhaps the meaning for my nCw existence can't be put into one tight, neat, little package, but is really a complex set of working parts that are all ingeniously intertwined together. One depends on the other so to speak. That would explain why I've been so upset for what Ace did to me, taking away my job and why Kelly being the one who passed down the judgment hurt even worse. That would explain why that the Xtreme title Ace carries around means nothing to me in this whole deal. I don't wrestle for the love of gold like Ace does, I don't put my body on the line for some belt, I do it because I love this sport. I do It because I love seeing the fans clap and cheer my name, seeing the kiddies grinning from ear to ear, that's what I love to see. Most importantly I do it because it's just simply put... something I love doing. I don't care what others think, what others do, or what somebody will do to drag me down to their level, as long as I am enjoying myself.... that's all that matters. Ace though..... he took that from me, for over a month I was pulled away from the job I love, from the place I called him, all because somebody was too jealous of my success. Their existence depended on pulling somebody down to his their level, of twisting this great sport into their golden play ground...... now it's time for me to make him pay for what he did, to make him remorse of the pain he caused. This is my time to shine, my time to throw down the shackles and unleash this fury onto that piss ant who dares come into my world and try to take away my smile. I hope Ace's love ones will be praying for him, because may God have mercy on his soul for what I have planned::..
Sunday, June 20th 2008 : Verizon Center, Washington DC
{Our scene this fine evening opens up outside the Verizon Center in Washington DC. There are several people lined up outside who look restless and ready to get in, there are some sitting on tailgates talking, having a good ol' time, enjoying the scenery and the overall environment. The camera pans around catching the fans in action and giving a fine first hand view of just how big this nCw show is, and just how important it will ultimately be for this promotion, the last pay per view before nCw officially turns a year old, that's quite a milestone. However, many of the fans have their attention taken away from whatever it is that they were doing.. a football drops as the receiver in a parking lot pickup game turns his attention, a hot dog falls to the ground from an unintuitive griller, who is now focusing on the long limo that has pulled into the arena parking lot. The limo makes a right turn and circles around to the back of the arena, to the loading and unloading area, our camera follows it along it's trip until it finally comes to a stop out back. Security crew members rush out side in unified fashion and surround the door of the limo protecting whoever is inside. The drive of the limo exits and comes around to open the door, and from the limo wearing a black ladies business skirt suit with sunglasses protecting her eyes is Kelly Fox the CEO of nCw, However soon after she is out, her long time friend Adam Knite steps out as well, causing a gasp from the few onlookers that are around. Adam brushes off his shirt and baggy carpenter jeans as he and Ms. Fox are escorted into the arena by the security members, as soon as they are in the door another crowd of people with camera's a large boom stick microphones rush the scene, the security crew try to push them away, but Adam and Kelly stop to answer some quick questions anyway, random voices can be heard spouting out questions, to the point it sounds like one garbled mess.}
Voice1: Adam, what are you doing in the limo with Kelly?
Voice2: Kelly have you and Adam gotten back together?
Voice3: Kelly, what about Mr. Ortega?
Voice4: Adam, are you trying to get in good with the CEO to further your career?
Voice5: What about the suspension, why hasn't Ace been suspended if Adam was?
{Kelly looks annoyed as she brushes her her gently behind her. She puts her fingers to her lips and whistles stopping most of the screamers right there. She smiles and pulls off the sunglasses calmly. She puts then in her suit pocket and points at a person in the crowd holding a microphone.}
Kelly Fox: Look, I have a lot of business I need to take care of, and Mr. Knite here has a very important match tonight. So if you'd please, we'll answer only a couple of questions, but we must be moving on, so please keep them short, and please only one person at a time. Lets start with you.
Person1: Ms. Fox, what does your being in a limosine with a wrestler on your roster mean? Are you and Mr. Knite a couple? If so, is that fair tot he other wrestlers who may not be in such high standings with you?
Kelly Fox: **laughs slightly**.....
{Before Kelly can answer Adam puts his hand on her shoulder and gently pushes her to the side. She smiles and nods.}
Adam Knite: I'll field this one. Me and Kelly have been close friends our entire life. Her dad practically adopted me when I was younger, he brought me in when I had no place to go. Ms. Fox, offered me a ride to the arena as a friend and nothing more.
Person1: So there is nothing going on between you two?
Kelly Fox: Nothing at all. Adam simply needed a way here, and I simply supplied him with one. You can stop digging right there, I'd do the same for anybody on my roster. So on to the next question, how about you there.
Person2: So Adam... you're telling us, two people with the history together that you two had, can share a limo as “only friends”, I'm sorry but we can't be expected to believe that.
Kelly Fox: I'm sorry, but we answered the question, and if the answer wasn't what you were looking for, than I'm deeply sorry, but I'm not here to please you and give you a scoop. So I'll be taking my leave now.
{Adam and Kelly look at each other and wave.}
Adam Knite: Thanks for the ride Kel.... I mean Ms. Fox.
{Knite and Fox turn seporate directions and head to opposite sides of the arena, both having to push their way through the reporters wanting to know what is going on. This is where the camera leaves Kelly and begins following Adam on his trek through the Verizon center. Finally after a few short minutes Adam arrives at his dressing room, he knows it's his because it has “Knitemare on Helms Street” written on the door. Adam swings the door open, and flips the light switch, the room is empty because Trent hasn't arrived yet it would seem. Adam takes the bag he's been carrying and throws it onto the sofa in the middle of the room. Adam takes a seat beside his gear. Adam throws back his arms and lets out a faint yawn.}
Adam Knite: About time... a little peace and quit, time to relax a little before the match.
{Just then, Adam's interrupted by the closet door swinging open and having a man come springing out. The man is of course Chad Lights, who will do anything to get an interview. Adam sits in his spot calmly rolling his eyes and doesn't seem surprised at all. Chad has a microphone in hand and approaches Adam, who simply sighs.}
Adam knite: So.... It's been a while Chad...... anything I can do for you? Have a seat if you want.
Chad Lights: No I'm fine, thanks. You know me Adam, I had to get one last interview with you before this match tonight. This match is going to be huge I can feel it.
Adam Knite: yeap.....
Chad Lights: but what was all that commotion outside?
Adam Knite: Nothing.
Chad Lights; You sure? It sounded like people were rushing all over the place, and I could like a hundred voices talking at once.
Adam Knite: It was nothing.
Chad Lights: Ok then.... so how about we move right along then.
Adam Knite: Sounds great.
{Chad sees that Adam is slightly annoyed, but the ever persistent Chad Lights, doesn't seem to care and continues along anyway.}
Chad Lihghts:So Adam first off, what was it like being suspended for a month, knowing that you were being punished for a crime that you didn't do. What was going on through your head as you saw Jimmy Turner come forward and claim that you were the one who attacked Davey Ortega, when you were claiming your innocence.
Adam Knite: I won't lie Chad, I was hurt. Wrestling.... being in that ring, I didn't realize how much it meant to me, until I had it taken away, so violently. I knew I was innocent, I knew I never layed a hand on Ortega outside a wrestling ring, but nobody would believe me. Not you, not Hardy, not even Kelly. They all fully believed that I was the one who had run Ortega down, and that I was capable of a heartless attack like that. Trent.. he was the only person who phoned me and told me he knew it wasn't me, he was the only person who trusted my side of the story and said to my face “Adam, I know it wasn't you.” That's what hurt the most Chad, it wasn't missing the pay checks... I've made a lot of money over the years, a month worth of checks aren't going to put me in the poor house. I've been a World champion in federations all around the world, I've made a pretty penny of this success, I can assure you that. No that didn't sting, what stung, what ate away at me gnawing away at the inside of my head was the fact that Ace had manipulated the situation so much that he had Kelly believe I was holding the smoking gun, when there was really no proof at all that I did the deed.
That coward couldn't defeat me, or Helms if his life depended on it. Think about it like this, Steve Awesome has completely carried that tag team on his back, he's the sole reason they were tag team champions for so long, and even with Steve on his side Ace couldn't beat me or Trent. He just couldn't carry our jocks, so he had to do something drastic, he had to play a little game and hide in the shadows claiming he was vowing revenge. That's the real Ace.... a chicken, he couldn't face me face to face, he couldn't get a victory, and he knew he was the lesser man, he knew that no matter how hard he kicked and screamed, and threw a hissy fit, he wasn't going to get ahead in nCw until A Knitemare on Helms Street was out of the picture. He's always thrown the hissy fit, demanding more air time, claiming he's one of the best... when he wasn't. He's never been as good as me, he's never been as good as Trent, he's never been as good as half the wrestlers walking these halls, but he sure liked to parade around like he was. Whenever A Knitemare on Helms Street put him in his place, that's when he resorted to trickery to get ahead. He couldn't do it by himself, he couldn't do it with the help of his rake or sledgehammer, he had to pull the political strings..... he's a coward Chad, nothing more.... nothing less.
And for Kelly to allow herself to be controlled like a little puppet to a spineless peon like Ace.... that's what kept me going. That's what drove me Chad, and put the passion of wrestling back into my heart. It fired me up, I had to hurt Ace for what he did, I had to split every bone in his body for what he did. Ace, by firing the first shot, by trying to take my life away.... he opened a can of worms like that he could never imagine. Ace poked the sleeping beast, and now, it's time I came out of my slumber and ripped Ace apart.... limb by limb. The day has come, where Ace, will meet his end..... all because he didn't know when to just accept the fact he was the inferior being.
Chad Lights: Now this is your first one on one match with the Ace. You and him have a lot of history together, between the Smokin Aces and your team, and between this months recent escapades. Is there anything you'll be doing differently, is there any new tricks from Ace that you have been preparing for?
Adam Knite: Ace? Come up with something original? That's kinda self contradictory right there Chad. Ace hasn't had an original thought in his head in his entire life. He might as well walk around screaming to everybody he sees that “He is the game-ah” and that he's “just that damn good-ah”. Or maybe he'll finally pull an original thought out of his arse, I don't know... but I highly doubt it. See, Ace, he's the most predictable man in this promotion Chad, he starts off a match fast, he comes in and seems all fired up, but then he begins breathing hard and can't keep up, so Kathy hands him the roulette rake and he causes a distraction and cheats.... wow... like I can't see that coming from a mile away, but oh wait, this is an Xtreme rules match so Kathy now has free reign to do whatever she pleases..... big deal, that's still nothing new, they practically got away with murder before he wont he Xtreme title and was thrust into Hardcore situations, so there will be little change if any. There won't be any surprises coming from his corner, nothing that we all haven't seen a million times already, so I've come into this match like I do every match I've been put against the Ace, I'm going to drink a few red bulls and hope his lackluster move arsenal and his sluggish wrestling style doesn't put me to sleep, if I can stop from pulling out a pillow and taking a nap in the middle of that ring, then the rest will be a piece of cake.
There was a time that I literally looked out to the crowd and saw thousands of people asleep in their chairs during an Ace match. He's a snore, he's boring, he's unexciting, however you wanna spin Ace's wrestling ability, it always comes back to the word unimaginative. He won't have anything new up his sleeve, he won't have any tricks ready to go, he'll just be the same old boring, nobody gives a flying crap about Ace.
However, there is one thing I'll be doing differently... his scary mangy dog that follows him around and licks his boots, I won't be taking it easy on her. See I was brought up to believe there is never a reason to lay your hands on a woman, there is never a reason to physically harm a female unless they were trying to take your life. Well, there is a major reason why this doesn't apply to that stuttering circus act, namely because she hardly qualifies as a woman. She waived all right to be considered a woman when she married Ace, because we all know Ace's door doesn't swing that way, and when she started getting involved in matches, started hitting me with title belts... she waived all right for me to take her lightly. She threw that chance out the window. I'm telling you right here and right now Chad... if she gets involved in this match, if she takes one step towards me to try and give her master an upper hand, I'm going to treat her like I would any other member of the coroprate Empire. I will knock her down a notch Chad. She can get involved all she wants, in fact I hope she does try and help Ace out, because I won't be remorseful for what I do to her if she does. If she accepts that, and still wants to have it out... then go right ahead little man beast thing, because Adam Knite.... won't treat her like a lady.
Chad Lights: So Adam, I've noticed that throughout this interview, you have not mentioned that defeating Ace, will make you the Xtreme champion. Is there a reason for that? Not counting your chickens before they hatch? Or something else?
Adam Knite: Oh Chad, that's simple. It's because this match has gone far above chamionships. That little Xtreme title he's carrying around, despite what he may think, I don't care about. I've never cared about. When you've been eight time World Champion across the globe... you stop carrying about little secondary titles. Unlike Ace... I don't need titles to legitimize myself as a contender here.
Chad Lights: Interesting, because Ace has gone on record as saying that, championship gold is all that you care about. He claimed just last week off the top of my head, that titles meant everything to you.
Adam Knite: That's because Ace doesn't have the time of die to pull his head out of his arse and pay attention to what somebody had said. He only hears what he wants to hear, anything else is just white noise to him. I could be sitting right here, claiming that I had no chance against Ace, and that I'm surely going to lose the match, but it won't matter to him, because he'd never hear the message. He'd just make an even bigger fool of himself by coming out and saying that “Adam Knite is delusional if he thinks he's going to beat the game-ah”. That's just Ace's way, like I said, he can't come up with an original though, so he just borrows and twists them until he can put a half tangible sentence together.
I've never given two thoughts about that title around his waist, this match, is not about the Xtreme title. This match is not about gold belts. This match is about me, treating Ace to an arse whipping that he so dearly deserves. Do you seriously think, that after what he did to me, after him trying to take my life away from me, that I'm going to settle on taking away his Xtreme title as retribution!? Seriously!? What I want to take away from Ace, what I want to rip away from Ace will hurt him far more than losing any title could. I was out of a job for over a month Lights.... getting a second rate title from a second rate wrestler won't bring that back to me, it won't make this feeling in the pit of my stomach go away. This hatred that is swelling up inside of me that, consumes my every waking moment... that isn't going away simply because Ace gets pinned 1....2...3, it won't go away just because Ace taps out, and I'm handed a little gold and leather toy. No this thirst for revenge will only be quenched when I make Ace feel the pain and torment that he inflicted on me, ten fold. He can clammer all he wants but he's the one who threw hissy fits demanding championship shots in his promos and backstage. He's the one who is possessed by this illusion of grandeur that tells him being a champion makes him a man. My only purpose in this match will be to make Ace suffer Chad, it will be to take away everything he holds dear and to have him begging me for forgiveness, he can keep his belt, he can keep the title of “Xtreme Champion” he could make love to that strap if he wants to, I frankly don't care.... as long as I have his blood flowing through my fingers, and quench my thirst on his tears.
Chad Lights: Wow.... Adam. Does this match really mean that much to you, do you really feel that strongly?
Adam Knite: Of course Chad.... imagine everything you love Chad, and then picture somebody taking it away from you in one instance. That's how I've been feeling for a long time now. I need this revenge Chad, my life hinges on this one victory, without it..... I can hardly call myself a man anymore, I could hardly claim to be a great wrestler if I can't get my revenge for what Ace did. You can throw the titles out the window, you can throw wins and loses out there too... this match isn't about those to me Lights..... not anymore. They have gone so far past that, that I can see nothing else but the joy of hurting Ace, hearing his bone snap, in my dreams.
They say “revenge is best served cold”... but that's a bloody lie Chad. If you have true revenge, If you have a true passion for righting a wrong... the thought of revenge that consumes you will never grow cold. The fire will never die down, it will only grow larger over time, until it completely consumes you. I've hit that point. I've already crossed the point of no return... in this match.... I have to see Ace in a bloody mess.... I have to see him squirming for his life.... there is no other option, there is nothing else that will calm my soul. Like I said earlier... Ace has no idea what he has started..... I won't be denied Chad...... he's unleashed the beast into his world and I'm about to corrupt his entire existence, I will infect his soul and take away everything that he loves.... just like he did to me, no other way around it. What Ace did... was dig his own grave, and now it's time he was buried.
Chad Lights: Well Adam, thank you, that's all I have. Is there anything you want to say before I head on out of here and let you relax?
Adam Knite: yes chad... there is, I want to say something to Ace, something I know he won't listen to, because he never listens... he just makes up what he wants, but I want to say it none the less.
{Chad hands Adam the microphone and Adam stands from the sofa and looks straight into the camera, his glowing red eyes pierce the lens and seem to be stairing straight at you, unwavering. Adam falls to his knees and lowers his head and takes deep breaths. Chad looks a little uneasy as Adam begins a small maniacal laugh. Adam looks up into the camera with his eyes making thin slits, but the red glow can be seen brighter than ever, as Adam brings the microphone to his lips.}
Adam Knite: Ace..... dear Ace....look at what you've done... look at what you resurrected. You've awoken a sleeping monster Ace, you've decided that it was best to take a man on the verge of instability and push him further. Did you really think that you were going to get away Scott free? Did you really think there would be no repercussions? I'm sorry Ace... but it just doesn't work that way. Ace, I can already smell the stench of your sins on my hands, and I can already feel your heart beating in my hands. Tonight Ace.... will be your final act, you will be ushered off stage to the chorus of boos, left to be nothing but a foot note, in the book of nCw. You will have no body to blame but yourself dear Ace, because you made this bed, you caused this all alone. When you decided to try and take my life from me, when you decided that the best course of action you had was to try and hurt me and crush my spirits.... that's when you signed your death certificate because now that you've failed to keep me down, you're going to feel my wraith first hand. See, I don't let people who have sinnned against me, just walk away. I don't let them carry on their charade and let them make believe they are something special... no.... I put them back in their place, and when you're laying in that ring.... and your dark red fluid is covering my hands, the red life life energy is caressing the area between my fingers and I am devouring your soul... you'll finally realize that you are nothing, that you were always nothing... and that you will always be nothing. You can't hang with the true nCw superstars Ace and deep down you know it, that's why you have to carry around a roulette rake, that's why your little puppy has to have your back every where you go, because your not man enough to handle your business alone. That will only get you so far Ace, and tonight is the end of the line.
This pay per view is fitting, because tonight will be the Last Stand. It will be Ace's Last Stand, and just like Custer's Last Stand, Ace you will pay dearly for your arrogance. What I will do to you... goes so far beyond your Xtreme title, you have no idea. That championship, you can keep it for all I care, this match is about revenge and respect, it's about the sinner paying for his sins at the gallows. I'll hang you by your neck Ace for the world to see and kill this false reality that you've manufactured, this fake world where Ace is some kind of wrestling star will fade into the Knite to be lost in the pages of history. That will be my revenge, to make you forgotten. How can I pay you back for everything you did to me, how can I extract my revenge for you trying to destroy my existence.... by making your life, your existence, your legacy.... mean nothing, to make everything you've thrived for, nothing more than an after thought.... that's how.
You're dog can try and save if she wants, fine by me... I'll just do to her what I'm going to do to you and be done with it. She can't help you Ace, Steve Awesome can't help you Ace, and the corporate Empire sure as hell can't help you. The bell tolls for your soul Ace and I'm going to usher it to the afterlife. In just a few short hours, you'll understand the meaning of fear, you'll understand what it's like to dwell in your own personal hell, and most importantly you'll understand what true pain is. I hope you are very well rested Ace, I hope you got your eight hours because tonight, will be a restless Knite for you. After I've taken everything you hold dear, all your notoriety all your manufactured glory, you'll understand that you don't wake up the sleeping giant. Fear the Knite Ace, when I finally get my revenge. Fear the Knite Ace, where you're reign of terror come to an end. Fear the Knite Ace, when your world comes crashing down around you, but just FEAR THE KNITE.... because your Knitemare is coming to infect your dreams.... and your reality. Your day of reckoning has is upon you........and you will pay for what you've created. Farewell Ace.
{ Adam lowers his head, while keeping an evil grin on his face. Adam stares at the floor and the reflection from the blood red eyes can be seen shining back. Adam laughs and begins shaking as the scene around him slowly fades away, the last shot that our camera gets is of two red dots faintly glowing in the nothingness. Adam is gone, and has left us with chilling message, one that vows revenge.}

I knew I was innocent, I knew I never layed a hand on Ortega outside a wrestling ring, but nobody would believe me. Not you, not Hardy, not even Kelly. They all fully believed that I was the one who had run Ortega down, and that I was capable of a heartless attack like that. Trent.. he was the only person who phoned me and told me he knew it wasn't me, he was the only person who trusted my side of the story and said to my face “Adam, I know it wasn't you.” That's what hurt the most Chad, it wasn't missing the pay checks... I've made a lot of money over the years, a month worth of checks aren't going to put me in the poor house. I've been a World champion in federations all around the world, I've made a pretty penny of this success, I can assure you that. No that didn't sting, what stung, what ate away at me gnawing away at the inside of my head was the fact that Ace had manipulated the situation so much that he had Kelly believe I was holding the smoking gun, when there was really no proof at all that I did the deed.
That coward couldn't defeat me, or Helms if his life depended on it. Think about it like this, Steve Awesome has completely carried that tag team on his back, he's the sole reason they were tag team champions for so long, and even with Steve on his side Ace couldn't beat me or Trent. He just couldn't carry our jocks, so he had to do something drastic, he had to play a little game and hide in the shadows claiming he was vowing revenge. That's the real Ace.... a chicken, he couldn't face me face to face, he couldn't get a victory, and he knew he was the lesser man, he knew that no matter how hard he kicked and screamed, and threw a hissy fit, he wasn't going to get ahead in nCw until A Knitemare on Helms Street was out of the picture. He's always thrown the hissy fit, demanding more air time, claiming he's one of the best... when he wasn't. He's never been as good as me, he's never been as good as Trent, he's never been as good as half the wrestlers walking these halls, but he sure liked to parade around like he was. Whenever A Knitemare on Helms Street put him in his place, that's when he resorted to trickery to get ahead. He couldn't do it by himself, he couldn't do it with the help of his rake or sledgehammer, he had to pull the political strings..... he's a coward Chad, nothing more.... nothing less.
And for Kelly to allow herself to be controlled like a little puppet to a spineless peon like Ace.... that's what kept me going. That's what drove me Chad, and put the passion of wrestling back into my heart. It fired me up, I had to hurt Ace for what he did, I had to split every bone in his body for what he did. Ace, by firing the first shot, by trying to take my life away.... he opened a can of worms like that he could never imagine. Ace poked the sleeping beast, and now, it's time I came out of my slumber and ripped Ace apart.... limb by limb. The day has come, where Ace, will meet his end..... all because he didn't know when to just accept the fact he was the inferior being.
Chad Lights: Now this is your first one on one match with the Ace. You and him have a lot of history together, between the Smokin Aces and your team, and between this months recent escapades. Is there anything you'll be doing differently, is there any new tricks from Ace that you have been preparing for?
Adam Knite: Ace? Come up with something original? That's kinda self contradictory right there Chad. Ace hasn't had an original thought in his head in his entire life. He might as well walk around screaming to everybody he sees that “He is the game-ah” and that he's “just that damn good-ah”. Or maybe he'll finally pull an original thought out of his arse, I don't know... but I highly doubt it. See, Ace, he's the most predictable man in this promotion Chad, he starts off a match fast, he comes in and seems all fired up, but then he begins breathing hard and can't keep up, so Kathy hands him the roulette rake and he causes a distraction and cheats.... wow... like I can't see that coming from a mile away, but oh wait, this is an Xtreme rules match so Kathy now has free reign to do whatever she pleases..... big deal, that's still nothing new, they practically got away with murder before he wont he Xtreme title and was thrust into Hardcore situations, so there will be little change if any. There won't be any surprises coming from his corner, nothing that we all haven't seen a million times already, so I've come into this match like I do every match I've been put against the Ace, I'm going to drink a few red bulls and hope his lackluster move arsenal and his sluggish wrestling style doesn't put me to sleep, if I can stop from pulling out a pillow and taking a nap in the middle of that ring, then the rest will be a piece of cake.
There was a time that I literally looked out to the crowd and saw thousands of people asleep in their chairs during an Ace match. He's a snore, he's boring, he's unexciting, however you wanna spin Ace's wrestling ability, it always comes back to the word unimaginative. He won't have anything new up his sleeve, he won't have any tricks ready to go, he'll just be the same old boring, nobody gives a flying crap about Ace.
However, there is one thing I'll be doing differently... his scary mangy dog that follows him around and licks his boots, I won't be taking it easy on her. See I was brought up to believe there is never a reason to lay your hands on a woman, there is never a reason to physically harm a female unless they were trying to take your life. Well, there is a major reason why this doesn't apply to that stuttering circus act, namely because she hardly qualifies as a woman. She waived all right to be considered a woman when she married Ace, because we all know Ace's door doesn't swing that way, and when she started getting involved in matches, started hitting me with title belts... she waived all right for me to take her lightly. She threw that chance out the window. I'm telling you right here and right now Chad... if she gets involved in this match, if she takes one step towards me to try and give her master an upper hand, I'm going to treat her like I would any other member of the coroprate Empire. I will knock her down a notch Chad. She can get involved all she wants, in fact I hope she does try and help Ace out, because I won't be remorseful for what I do to her if she does. If she accepts that, and still wants to have it out... then go right ahead little man beast thing, because Adam Knite.... won't treat her like a lady.
Chad Lights: So Adam, I've noticed that throughout this interview, you have not mentioned that defeating Ace, will make you the Xtreme champion. Is there a reason for that? Not counting your chickens before they hatch? Or something else?
Adam Knite: Oh Chad, that's simple. It's because this match has gone far above chamionships. That little Xtreme title he's carrying around, despite what he may think, I don't care about. I've never cared about. When you've been eight time World Champion across the globe... you stop carrying about little secondary titles. Unlike Ace... I don't need titles to legitimize myself as a contender here.
Chad Lights: Interesting, because Ace has gone on record as saying that, championship gold is all that you care about. He claimed just last week off the top of my head, that titles meant everything to you.
Adam Knite: That's because Ace doesn't have the time of die to pull his head out of his arse and pay attention to what somebody had said. He only hears what he wants to hear, anything else is just white noise to him. I could be sitting right here, claiming that I had no chance against Ace, and that I'm surely going to lose the match, but it won't matter to him, because he'd never hear the message. He'd just make an even bigger fool of himself by coming out and saying that “Adam Knite is delusional if he thinks he's going to beat the game-ah”. That's just Ace's way, like I said, he can't come up with an original though, so he just borrows and twists them until he can put a half tangible sentence together.
I've never given two thoughts about that title around his waist, this match, is not about the Xtreme title. This match is not about gold belts. This match is about me, treating Ace to an arse whipping that he so dearly deserves. Do you seriously think, that after what he did to me, after him trying to take my life away from me, that I'm going to settle on taking away his Xtreme title as retribution!? Seriously!? What I want to take away from Ace, what I want to rip away from Ace will hurt him far more than losing any title could. I was out of a job for over a month Lights.... getting a second rate title from a second rate wrestler won't bring that back to me, it won't make this feeling in the pit of my stomach go away. This hatred that is swelling up inside of me that, consumes my every waking moment... that isn't going away simply because Ace gets pinned 1....2...3, it won't go away just because Ace taps out, and I'm handed a little gold and leather toy. No this thirst for revenge will only be quenched when I make Ace feel the pain and torment that he inflicted on me, ten fold. He can clammer all he wants but he's the one who threw hissy fits demanding championship shots in his promos and backstage. He's the one who is possessed by this illusion of grandeur that tells him being a champion makes him a man. My only purpose in this match will be to make Ace suffer Chad, it will be to take away everything he holds dear and to have him begging me for forgiveness, he can keep his belt, he can keep the title of “Xtreme Champion” he could make love to that strap if he wants to, I frankly don't care.... as long as I have his blood flowing through my fingers, and quench my thirst on his tears.
Chad Lights: Wow.... Adam. Does this match really mean that much to you, do you really feel that strongly?
Adam Knite: Of course Chad.... imagine everything you love Chad, and then picture somebody taking it away from you in one instance. That's how I've been feeling for a long time now. I need this revenge Chad, my life hinges on this one victory, without it..... I can hardly call myself a man anymore, I could hardly claim to be a great wrestler if I can't get my revenge for what Ace did. You can throw the titles out the window, you can throw wins and loses out there too... this match isn't about those to me Lights..... not anymore. They have gone so far past that, that I can see nothing else but the joy of hurting Ace, hearing his bone snap, in my dreams.
They say “revenge is best served cold”... but that's a bloody lie Chad. If you have true revenge, If you have a true passion for righting a wrong... the thought of revenge that consumes you will never grow cold. The fire will never die down, it will only grow larger over time, until it completely consumes you. I've hit that point. I've already crossed the point of no return... in this match.... I have to see Ace in a bloody mess.... I have to see him squirming for his life.... there is no other option, there is nothing else that will calm my soul. Like I said earlier... Ace has no idea what he has started..... I won't be denied Chad...... he's unleashed the beast into his world and I'm about to corrupt his entire existence, I will infect his soul and take away everything that he loves.... just like he did to me, no other way around it. What Ace did... was dig his own grave, and now it's time he was buried.
Chad Lights: Well Adam, thank you, that's all I have. Is there anything you want to say before I head on out of here and let you relax?
Adam Knite: yes chad... there is, I want to say something to Ace, something I know he won't listen to, because he never listens... he just makes up what he wants, but I want to say it none the less.
{Chad hands Adam the microphone and Adam stands from the sofa and looks straight into the camera, his glowing red eyes pierce the lens and seem to be stairing straight at you, unwavering. Adam falls to his knees and lowers his head and takes deep breaths. Chad looks a little uneasy as Adam begins a small maniacal laugh. Adam looks up into the camera with his eyes making thin slits, but the red glow can be seen brighter than ever, as Adam brings the microphone to his lips.}
Adam Knite: Ace..... dear Ace....look at what you've done... look at what you resurrected. You've awoken a sleeping monster Ace, you've decided that it was best to take a man on the verge of instability and push him further. Did you really think that you were going to get away Scott free? Did you really think there would be no repercussions? I'm sorry Ace... but it just doesn't work that way. Ace, I can already smell the stench of your sins on my hands, and I can already feel your heart beating in my hands. Tonight Ace.... will be your final act, you will be ushered off stage to the chorus of boos, left to be nothing but a foot note, in the book of nCw. You will have no body to blame but yourself dear Ace, because you made this bed, you caused this all alone. When you decided to try and take my life from me, when you decided that the best course of action you had was to try and hurt me and crush my spirits.... that's when you signed your death certificate because now that you've failed to keep me down, you're going to feel my wraith first hand. See, I don't let people who have sinnned against me, just walk away. I don't let them carry on their charade and let them make believe they are something special... no.... I put them back in their place, and when you're laying in that ring.... and your dark red fluid is covering my hands, the red life life energy is caressing the area between my fingers and I am devouring your soul... you'll finally realize that you are nothing, that you were always nothing... and that you will always be nothing. You can't hang with the true nCw superstars Ace and deep down you know it, that's why you have to carry around a roulette rake, that's why your little puppy has to have your back every where you go, because your not man enough to handle your business alone. That will only get you so far Ace, and tonight is the end of the line.
This pay per view is fitting, because tonight will be the Last Stand. It will be Ace's Last Stand, and just like Custer's Last Stand, Ace you will pay dearly for your arrogance. What I will do to you... goes so far beyond your Xtreme title, you have no idea. That championship, you can keep it for all I care, this match is about revenge and respect, it's about the sinner paying for his sins at the gallows. I'll hang you by your neck Ace for the world to see and kill this false reality that you've manufactured, this fake world where Ace is some kind of wrestling star will fade into the Knite to be lost in the pages of history. That will be my revenge, to make you forgotten. How can I pay you back for everything you did to me, how can I extract my revenge for you trying to destroy my existence.... by making your life, your existence, your legacy.... mean nothing, to make everything you've thrived for, nothing more than an after thought.... that's how.
You're dog can try and save if she wants, fine by me... I'll just do to her what I'm going to do to you and be done with it. She can't help you Ace, Steve Awesome can't help you Ace, and the corporate Empire sure as hell can't help you. The bell tolls for your soul Ace and I'm going to usher it to the afterlife. In just a few short hours, you'll understand the meaning of fear, you'll understand what it's like to dwell in your own personal hell, and most importantly you'll understand what true pain is. I hope you are very well rested Ace, I hope you got your eight hours because tonight, will be a restless Knite for you. After I've taken everything you hold dear, all your notoriety all your manufactured glory, you'll understand that you don't wake up the sleeping giant. Fear the Knite Ace, when I finally get my revenge. Fear the Knite Ace, where you're reign of terror come to an end. Fear the Knite Ace, when your world comes crashing down around you, but just FEAR THE KNITE.... because your Knitemare is coming to infect your dreams.... and your reality. Your day of reckoning has is upon you........and you will pay for what you've created. Farewell Ace.
{ Adam lowers his head, while keeping an evil grin on his face. Adam stares at the floor and the reflection from the blood red eyes can be seen shining back. Adam laughs and begins shaking as the scene around him slowly fades away, the last shot that our camera gets is of two red dots faintly glowing in the nothingness. Adam is gone, and has left us with chilling message, one that vows revenge.}
